There's Sorted Sounds (this Thursday, June 5), in which visitors will be able to find out about new kinds of music using new computer programs and search techniques that look for similar kinds of music, not for keywords.

We're very interested in Virtuoso Stress (June 17), a concert with a difference. Two musicians will be wired up to bio-engineering equipment so the audience will be able to see how their bodies react (in terms of stress, heart rate and so on) while they're playing.

Finally, if you fancy yourself more as a composer, check out Making Music (July 10). There's a workshop during the day in which you can put your hand to a composition using software that helps blind and visually impaired people to make music. Then the composition will be played at the evening event.

Finally, and unrelated to any of the above, we've just heard that American website Thinkgeek is selling a flux capacitor, as found in Marty McFly's time-travelling car from the Back to the Future movies. We're not convinced it will actually work, but it was far too cool not to write about.
